Hello again all,

I've put up a photo of our consumer unit and a close-up of one of the
ELCB's.

They can be found he

both are high-res photos


They are RCD's, not [voltage operated] ELCB's.
RCD's were originally called current operated ELCB's (14th Ed Regs),
but that name didn't stick.


Come to think of it, the other give-away is that you can't
have multiple [voltage operated] ELCB's on one installation.
